我们应该如何看待区域在全球经济中的作用？当涉及到建立这两个发展尺度的统一愿景时，理论有着惊人的差距。在这篇文章中提出了这样一个愿景的两个贡献。首先，地理集中和它所支持的区域经济专业化与全球化之间的关系应被理论化为一个动态过程。标准的区位和贸易理论不足以完成这项任务;相反，可以通过增长理论来捕捉动态关系。但要把握这种动态关系，就需要修正增长理论，将其局部和全球成分分开，即马歇尔-阿罗外部性和罗默外部性。第二，在所有关于地理集中和地方专业化发展的理论中，缺少一个要素，在这里称为“背景”。反过来，背景理论又提出了一些重要的新问题，即当代在全球范围内分割和重新安置生产的过程对动态福利和发展的影响。
abstract How should we think of the role of regions in relation to the global economy? Theory has surprising gaps when it comes to building a unified vision of these two scales of development. Two contributions to such a vision are proposed in this article. First, the relationship between geographic concentration and the regional economic specialization it underpins and globalization should be theorized as a dynamic process. Standard location and trade theory is not adequate for this task; instead, the dynamic relationship can be captured through growth theory. But capturing this dynamic relationship requires correcting growth theory to separate its local and its global components, which are, respectively, Marshall-Arrow and Romer externalities. Second, the missing element in all theories of geographic concentration and locally specialized development is an element labeled “context” here. A theory of context, in turn, raises important new questions about the dynamic welfare and developmental effects of contemporary processes of fragmenting and relocating production at a global scale.
